2025 Africa Startup & VC Landscape Preview for Founders, Investors, LPs, DFIs and Public Officials
What if 2025 is the next big year in Africa's tech ecosystem after 2022?
In 2022, $5.4 billion in funding came into Africa in what was undoubtedly Africa's best year.
As 2024 draws to a close, the African startup ecosystem has demonstrated remarkable resilience despite unfavorable economic headwinds but regionally and globally. As of September, African startups have secured approximately $2.2 billion in funding this year, reflecting a 25% decrease from 2023. In October alone, startups raised $254 million—the highest monthly total since 2019—indicating a strong rebound in investor confidence.
This year also witnessed the emergence of two new unicorns: Nigeria's Moniepoint and Tyme, bringing the continent's total to nine. These milestones underscore the increasing resilience of Africa's innovative ecosystem despite seeming flight of notable global Investors from the continent..
Looking ahead, there are signs that the African startup ecosystem is poised for further expansion. To delve into the 2025 landscape, I am privileged to have the confidence of over 100 prominent founders, venture capitalists, limited partners, development finance institutions, and public officials who will converge virtually on January 23, 2025, for the African Startup & VC Landscape 2025 Preview.
